It's nearly the end of January and we are still sticking to our resolution of cutting out sugar. It's great to be able to admit that despite two different deliveries of goodies ( from well intentioned people who didn't know), one being my favorite type of cookie ( snickerdoodles ) and another being chocolate in nature hubby and I are still going strong. I already notice a change in Kevin, his face is thinner and his belly is starting to flatten out again. I know many people caution against sugar free foods and their safety as well as the idea that they make you crave more sweets or mess with your metabolism but different things work differently for different people and I can definitely report not having more cravings but much less. The coolest thing about our efforts this year is the increase in affordable sugar free and no sugar added products. We found some tasty sugar free cookies at the dollar store for an occasional treat as well as some new drink alternatives, and our palletes have definitely adjusted to the mild sweetness instead of the intense sweetness that sugar leaves in your mouth.
In other news, this is the year that we are going to get our health care and dental care needs met. Now that we both have full coverage, we hope to get to the bottom of our infertility woes and get the hubby all set up in the dental department. Which has been a need for more than just a little while.
We'll keep you posted.
